The ASP/CGI Engine, Viewer, Installer, and Run-time library provide a platform for creating dedicated web applications for desktop computers. This environment allows for standalone programs to be built with ease.
Active Local Pages is a comprehensive software package that includes an ASP (Active Server Pages) and CGI engine along with several additional tools, such as a Viewer with extended DHTML, Installer, and a Huge pack of components. With the help of the ALP desktop applications, developers can write programs in ASP/CGI and deploy them on any Windows PC starting from Windows 95 (with IE4 or later versions).
One of the biggest advantages of using ALP is that even autorun CDs can be built in ASP/CGI with some limitations to the external components used. This makes it a versatile solution for various applications like DB applications, utilities, catalogs, albums, etc. As ALP combines the simple and powerful ASP/CGI technology with DHTML, it allows developers to create software that is not only functional but also visually appealing with minimal effort.
ALP is highly compatible with MS Internet Information Server, and applications can be executed on stand-alone desktops (with ALP) and web servers (under IIS) with no or minimal changes as per the particular platform's specific requirements. Additionally, the ALP run-time library can be installed on server machines to give applications built initially for ALP access to the same components on the web server machine.
The latest additions to the run-time library include threads, system functions, version, and shell functions, making the ASP programming more accessible for long asynchronous tasks, install/update operations. ALP now also provides easy administration, making it a complete solution that caters to various development needs. In conclusion, the ALP software package is a must-have for developers looking to create robust and visually appealing software without any significant changes to the server or desktop environment.
